HEATING APPARATUS FOR GAS-BURNERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,932, dated July 6, 1897. Application filed January 30, 1897. erial No. 621,332. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THEODORE GUHRING, a citizen of the United States, residingin the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating Apparatus for Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for heating rooms, and has for its object to provide a heat-distributin g device which shall be adapted to the ordinary gas-jet or lamp and capable of effectively distributing the heat throughout a room and of utilizing the greatest proportion possible of said heat. a

My invention consists of a heat-radiator adapted to be suspended above a gas-jet and comprising a metal cylinder provided with heat-deflecting diaphragms and openings to facilitate the distribution of the heated air.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of myimproved heat-radiatorin position above a gas-jet' Fig. 2 is a vertical central longitudinal section thereof on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is across-section on the line 8 3 of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My improved heat-radiator is made of two cylindrical portions A A, which form a chimney-like structure, that is made of sheet metal and of suitable size to operate in connection with an ordinary gas-jet and is provided with suitable ineanssuch as a bail B and bracket B-by which it may be suspended over said gas-jet. The lower cylinder A has a flared lower part or rim a, which serves to permit the free admission of the heat of the gas-jet and the air of the room. At the top of the cylinder A is secured a diaphragm 0, having a central opening I), surrounded by a depending cylindrical flange Z). The diaphragm 0 projects beyond the sides of the cylinder A and is slightly curved, so as to form a deflector cl. Openings 0 are provided in the sides of the cylinder immediately below the said diaphragm.

The second cylinder A is secured above the diaphragm O to the first cylinder A and forms a continuation of the latterand may be of somewhat less diameter and length. The cylinder A is provided with a closed diaphragm O, which is secured to the top and extends beyond the sides thereof, forming a second deflector d similar to deflector d of diaphragm C. On the top of the diaphragm C is arranged an open cup 6 for receiving a vessel filled with water either for heating the same or for supplying moisture to the room. Openings 0 are also provided at the top of the cylinder A close to the diaphragm G to permit the free escape of the heated air in the cylinder to the deflector d, by which it is distributed throughout the room, as in the case of the deflector cl.

The heated airfrom the gas-jet passes into the lower cylinder A, carrying with it more or less of the warm air from the room. This hot air is thrown against the diaphragm O and thence through the openings 0 out into the room after having received a downward impulse from the deflector d. The residue of the hot air passes up through the central opening I) of the diaphragm G into the upper cylinder A, where it impinges against the diaphragm C and is thrown out through the openings 0 against the deflector cl and is thus distributed throughout the room.

Various changes may be made in the construction of the above-described device without departing from the scope of myinvention. For example, the upper deflector d may be made considerably larger than the lower deflector cl. So, also, the upper cylinderA may be made very much longer; but the proportions shown and described are believed to be the best suited for the purpose.

The diaphragms C and C may be constructed, as shown, in one piece with the deflectors d d, or they may be constructed separately and each secured in its place by any suitable means.

My improved gas-heater permits the utilization of the heat of an ordinary gas-jet with out interfering with the light of the same, so that smaller roomssuch as hall-rooms, bathrooms, &c.--may be very economically heated, while larger rooms would require a heater over more than one gas-jet.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A heat-radiator, comprising a lower cylinder, a centrally-perforated diaphragm at the top of said cylinder, an exterior deflector, openings in the upper part of the lower cylinder below said deflector, an upper cylinder, a diaphragm closing the top of the upper cylinder and a deflector at the upper end of the upper cylinder, said cylinder having outletopenings below the upper diaphragm, substantially as set forth.

2. A heat-radiator, coniprisinga lower cylinder having an outwardly-flaring lower end and openings at the upper end, a centrallyperforated diaphragm at its top, a downwardly-extending lip extending around the central opening in the diaphragm, an upper cylinder, a closed diaphragm at its upper end, openings adjacent to said closed diaphragm, and a deflector at the top of the upper cylinder above said openings, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

THEODORE GUHRING.
